2013bringsabrandnewcom-munity center to the Lake Jack-son Town Center at HuntingtonOaks. “A lot of people are look-ing forward to it,” says PatThomas, member of the LeonCounty Senior Outreach Advi-sory Council. The center is nextto the recently expanded LakeJackson Branch Library at theintersection of North MonroeStreet and Fred George Road.

One of the reasons Thomasbecame a Council member wasto advocate for a communitycenter in northwest Tallahas-see. She lives in the area — inJackson Corners, as she fondlycalls it — and she first saw theneed for a community center in2005, the year after she retired.Ever since, she’s been makingphone calls, attending meet-ings, and doing everything shecould think of to make herdream come true.

“A lot of our neighborhoodsin this area were built in the1980s,” Thomas says. “There isa seniorpopulation out here.” Inaddition to lifelong learningandart classes, she says the center“will be good for a lot of differ-ent thingsfor thewholecommu-nity,” suchasmeetingsofhome-owners’ associations, youth or-ganizations, and home-school-ers.

The first senior outreach ac-tivities will be scheduled assoon as the center opens. LeonCounty Senior Outreach, a pro-gram of the Tallahassee SeniorCenter & Foundation funded by

the county commission, spon-sors several area Lunch &Learn opportunities for resi-dents under the direction of Su-san Davis. Lake Jackson Lunch& Learns will be held monthly(except January and July) onthe third Thursday. Davis coor-dinates the event programs ateach site to ensure they are en-tertaining and informativewithexhibitors, speakers and a ca-tered lunch. She invites every-one to “come join the fun.”

Leslie Puckett, art coordina-

tor for the Tallahassee SeniorCenter & Foundation, is equallyexcited that Linda Pelc, a LakeJackson neighborhood resi-dent, will offer WatercolorPainting for Beginners at theNW center beginning February25. (Read more about the classin Golden Review, page 10.)

The facility has two meetingrooms. One can seat up to 100people and theothercanaccom-modate about 60, depending onhow the center’s modular furni-ture is set up. Architect John

Ward with Leon County Facili-ties Management says the LakeJackson Town Center projectrents out space for private busi-nesses in addition to hostingpublic facilities, including thelibrary and community center.A Leon County tax collector’soffice is scheduled to openthere in spring 2013.

Topping off the project, saysLeon County CommissionerJohn E. Dailey, “sidewalks willbe added to the site, includingwalkways for exercise purpos-

es, and plans are underway forthe bus stop to be changed andmovedto themaindrivecominginto the center.”

“Making such a significantinvestment at a time like this isnot an easy thing to do, but it is acritically important thing todo,” said Leon County Adminis-trator Vincent S. Long. “Theneighbors of this communityshould be commended forworking sowellwith theCountyand throughout the renovationand the sense of place initiativehere at Huntington Oaks.”

“We’re grateful to the Coun-ty Commission for making thisgem,” says Linda Roberts,president of the TSC Founda-tion Board. Roberts, who livesabout two miles from the newcenter, adds “It’s going to be thecornerstone of northwest Talla-hassee!”

From beginners to lifelongathletes, just about everyoneover 50 can find an event they’lllove in the Capital City SeniorGames. The range of events isenormous, from bowling, bicy-cling, and billiards to pole-vaulting, power lifting andpitching horseshoes. The 2013Games are slated for March 9 -18 at venues all over LeonCoun-ty.

Years of experience are notnecessary for some events.Take Pat Maus, for example. In2012 she was inspired to com-pete in basketball shooting andcame home with a silver medalin her division. She didn’t prac-tice much before the games. “Iwas a fast learner,” she says.Basketball shooter Debra Salt-ers, who started playing thegame at age16, likes the event’s“very friendly atmosphere. Ev-erybody cheers everybody.”Debra felt so comfortable thatshe shared a few of her tech-niques with her fellow compet-itors.

Powerlifter and gold medal-ist Emory Williams says theSeniorGames create “an oppor-tunity tomeet a lot of other peo-ple your same age who are in-volved in a lot of differentsports.” He advises beginnersin any sport to “clear it withyour doctor; then go at it and beconsistent with it.”

SwimmerMikeTschirret en-couragespotential competitors:“Justget in there!Getwetorgetsweaty. Have fun and feelgood.”Mikeswimsforfitnessatleast five days a week. He ad-vises, “For beginners in swim-ming, getwith other people. Be-ing around other people won’tmake it any easier, but it’ll bemore fun. I probably wouldn’tgo if I weren’t meeting myworkout partner.” Mike started

swimming competitively at age7. In college, he swam in Olym-pic trials, and he won Mastersnational championships in 1997and 2000. To all potential SeniorGames competitors, Mike says:“Go for it!”

Someevents forbeginners toconsider:

Pickleball — a hybrid of ten-nis, badminton, and table tennis— is played with wooden pad-dles, baseball-sized lightweightplastic balls and a low net. Pick-leball is played at the Tallahas-see Senior Center (TSC) onWednesdays from 1:30 - 4 p.m.and Fridays 11:45 a.m. - 2 p.m.Equipment is available for loan.TSC’s pickleball players are ea-ger to teach newcomers.

Basketball shooting: Threeevents are offered: free-throwshooting (from the free-throwline), spot shooting (from fivedesignated spots around thecourt), and timed shooting (one-minute rounds to get as manybaskets as possible from desig-nated spots around the court).

Table tennis: Beginners arewelcome at TSC, where thegame is played onTuesdays andThursdays from 2:15 – 4:15 p.m.Jack L.McLean, Jr. CommunityCenter (700 Paul Russell Road,891-2505) and Forestmeadows(4750 N. Meridian Road, 891-3920) also offer table tennis.

Swimming: Go for the 50-yard race, which is two lengthsof the pool. Choose from free-style, backstroke, breaststroke,or butterfly events. Wade We-hunt Pool is roofed for the win-ter. 907 Myers Park Drive; call891-3985 for hours and fees.

Track and field: The 100-me-ter (328 feet) event is about 30feet shorter than a footballfield. Walking is fine. In 2011,one stalwart competitor fin-ished the race using a walker.

Horseshoes: ForestmeadowsAthletic Center maintains five

regulation pits and has horse-shoes for check-out (4750 N.Meridian Road, 891-3920). TomBrown Park and Jack L.McLean, Jr. Community Centeralso have pits. McLean hashorseshoes that can be checkedout.

Registration deadline for the2013 Capital City Senior Games

is March 4. Age divisions startat 50-54andgoby incrementsof5yearsupto85-89; there isa90+division. The cost is $15 for thefirst event and $3 for each addi-tional event. Somehaveanaddi-tionalvenuefee.Formoreinfor-mationoncompetingandvolun-teering, call 891-3866, email [email protected], or visit

“If you had the yearningwhenyouwereyoungerandyoudidnotparticipate, it’sanoppor-tunity toattemptsomethingyoudreamed of,” said Debra Salt-ers.

Table tennis competitors are quite serious about their game.

Get in on training and practice opportunities for Games

Whileon the road,mostdrivers don’t think aboutwhat goes into buildingthe bridges they may becrossing while passingover the many rivers,creeks and streams inFlorida. Lucky for thethem, Tallahassee seniorathlete Alan Ozell, did putsome thought into bridgeconstruction on Inter-states 4, 75 and 95, as anengineer for the State ofFlorida.

In his 95 years, Ozellhas traveled the world,lived in a handful of U.S.and Florida cities, heworked as an educator,and was a structural engi-neer who assisted in get-ting Floridians around thestate in the early days ofInterstate design and con-struction. This year headds 2012Florida Interna-tional Senior Games &State Championships ath-lete, who competed withhis son in track and fieldcompetition, to his long

list of impressive accom-plishments.

“I designed about 100bridges around the state,”he said while waiting tothrow the discus on a sun-nyDecemberafternooninLakeland. He was also astructural engineeringprofessor at the Univer-sity of Florida and endedup in Tallahassee in 2007.After his move to Talla-hassee, he gave a presen-tation to current Depart-

ment of Transportationengineers about his partin constructing the Flori-da Interstate system.

At the 2012 Games,held in Polk County, De-cember1-9, Alan and Phil-lip Ozell were one of agrowing number of par-ents and their childrencompeting in Florida Sen-ior Games competitions.Alan threw the javelin,shot put and discus in the95-99 age group, while

Phillip competed in thelong jump, triple jumpand shot put in the 60-64age group. Alan was oneof four 90+ athletes com-peting in Field events.More than 2,200 athletesage 50 and over competedin the 2012 Games.

Born in Turkey andeducated at Robert Uni-versity, a 149-year-old in-stitution, the oldestAmer-ican school still in exis-tence in its original loca-tion outside the UnitedStates, Ozell was onceamong the best sprintersin Turkey. He even com-peted in the 1936 BalkanGames, in Athens,Greece, in an attempt toqualify for the1936Olym-pic Games. Unfortunate-ly,hedidnotqualify torunalongside Jesse Owens inMunich, Germany. Hecame to the United Statesin 1939 and attended theUniversity of Illinoiswhere hemet hiswife, FloNell, a Fine Arts student.

Once he settled into hiscareer and family life,

Alanput theathleticactiv-ities on hold like manycurrent participants inSenior Games activities.“I basically snookeredhim into coming for avisitand signed him up for theGeorgia Games a coupleyears ago,” said Phillip,who has become an advo-cate for Master’s Sports.“I try togethimoutanddothings and I try to get allmy friends out to dothings like the SeniorGames.”

By bringing his dad tothe State Championships,Alan even ran into anoth-er native of Turkey at Te-nerocHighSchool, host ofthe Field events, and thetwo “started speakingTurkish to one another,”according to Phillip.“They kept looking at meand speaking Turkish andI had to tell them, ‘I don’tspeak Turkish.”

Phillip, an architectnow living in Atlanta, de-cided to get into the gamewhilewatching thePeach-tree Road Race in Atlanta

in1976. “I got caught up inthe whole Bicentennialthing and the patriotisminvolved and started toget into it,” he said. “Mywifedida lot of runningsoI started doing fieldevents.

Besides Alan and Phil-lip competing in Trackand Field, other fathersand sons played golf andbilliards during the ninedays of competition. Po-werlifting had a motherand son competing along-side one another.

“It keeps me busy andbrings me out to placeslike this,” said Alan, of hiscurrentSeniorathlete sta-tus. It looks like 95- yearoldAlanOzell isstillbuild-ing bridges. This time thebridges are bringing par-ents and their children to-gether once again for funand games, only this timein Senior Games competi-tions.

National AwarenessCampaign Helps Get YouBack in Step

Join us Monday, Feb. 11from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at theTallahassee Senior Centerfor the newest informationon heart health.

Dance the morning away!As part of the NationalCouncil on Aging’s HeartHealthy Initiative, the Talla-hassee Senior Center hasbeen selected to host a veryspecial Valentine’s DayHealthy Heart program.The program will include a

presentation on“Heart Healthand Pacemak-ers” by Dr.Afolabi Sango-sanya, an old-timey Contradance, and acatered lunch.

Dr. Sangosa-nya, a Tallahassee electro-physiologist with CapitalRegional Cardiology Asso-ciates, will give a brief pres-entation that includes in-formation on disorders thatcan cause a slow heartbeat,the risks between MRI andpacemakers, available treat-ment options, and questions

to ask the doctor.What most people don’t

know is that making a deci-sion for a pacemaker todaycan have certain limitationson healthcare decisions inthe future. For instance,nearly 200,000 pacemakerpatients in the U.S. are de-nied access to an MRI scanbecause of historical risksfor dangerous interactionsbetween an MRI and a pace-maker.

Additionally, RichardHopkins will call the Contradance together with theold-timey contraband “Rock-ertoe.” Hopkins Eatery willcater a very healthy lunch.

Don’t miss this opportuni-ty . There is no cost to at-tend the event, however,reservations are required.Call 891-4000

Upon their returnfrom recent tours, weasked a few of our trav-elers what they thought.Anne Contos said she had“a wonderful time” onthe Savannah-St. Augus-tine Christmas tour andthat the trip “way ex-ceeded her expectation.”She’s visited Savannahmany times—it’s a favor-ite city, so she took afriend along to share theadventure. Marilyn Wa-ters’ Christmas gift fromAnne found her in the“Back in the Day Bak-ery” with Cheryl Day andup close and personalwith Uncle Bubba. Fansof Paula Dean know allabout Uncle Bubba.Marilyn said of her tour,“loved it, loved it, lovedit.” Anne also compli-mented Travel Leadersfor a well-planned itiner-ary and said the accom-modations were “mag-nificent.”

TSC volunteer JaneGreene travels on TSCtours frequently. She’sbeen dolphin watching inDestin, at Atlanta’s Foxtheatre, lobster feastingin New England, andmost recently, city stroll-ing on the same tour asAnne andMarilyn.“These tours are fab-ulous,” said Jane, “I’mreally happy with myexperiences and recom-mend traveling with TSCgroups.” She looks for-ward to visiting moresites andon her “bucketlist” is the Grand Can-yon!
